2.1 Instructions for equipment using
R32 refrigerant
WARNING: MILDLY FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The refrigerant inside this unit is mildly flammable.
WARNING
▪ Do NOT pierce or burn.
▪ Do NOT use means to accelerate the defrosting
process or to clean the equipment, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
▪ Be aware that R32 refrigerant does NOT contain an
odour.
WARNING
The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical
damage and in a well-ventilated room without continuously
operating ignition sources (example: open flames, an
operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater)
and have a room size as specified below.
See "2.1.3 To determine the charge limitations"
your system meets the requirement for charge limitation.
WARNING
Make sure installation, servicing, maintenance and repair
comply with instructions from Daikin and with applicable
legislation (for example national gas regulation) and are
executed only by authorised persons.
WARNING
If one or more rooms are connected to the unit using a
duct system, make sure:
▪ there are no operating ignition sources (example: open
flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating
electric heater) in case the floor area is less than the
minimum floor area A (m²).
▪ no auxiliary devices, which may be a potential ignition
source, are installed in the duct work (example: hot
surfaces with a temperature exceeding 700°C and
electric switching device);
▪ only auxiliary devices approved by the manufacturer
are used in the duct work;
▪ air inlet AND outlet are connected directly to the same
room by ducting. Do NOT use spaces such as a false
ceiling as a duct for the air inlet or outlet.
See "2.1.3 To determine the charge limitations"
your system meets the requirement for charge limitation.
NOTICE
▪ Precautions shall be taken to avoid excessive vibration
or pulsation to refrigeration piping.
▪ Protection devices, piping and fittings shall be
protected as far
environmental effects.
▪ Provision shall be made for expansion and contraction
of long runs of piping.
▪ Piping in refrigerating systems shall be designed and
installed such as to minimise the likelihood of hydraulic
shock damaging the system.
▪ The indoor equipment and pipes shall be securely
mounted and guarded such that accidental rupture of
equipment or pipes cannot occur from events such as
moving furniture or reconstruction activities.

CAUTION
Do NOT use potential sources of ignition in searching for
or detection of refrigerant leaks.
NOTICE
▪ Do NOT re-use joints which have been used already.
▪ Joints made in installation between parts of refrigerant
system shall be accessible for maintenance purposes.
2.1.1 Installation space requirements
WARNING
If the appliance contains R32 refrigerant, the floor area of
the room in which the appliance is stored shall be at least
98.3 m².
NOTICE
▪ Pipework shall be protected from physical damage.
▪ Installation of pipework shall be kept to a minimum.
2.1.2 System layout requirements
The VRV 5-S uses R32 refrigerant which is rated as A2L and is
mildly flammable.
To comply with the requirements of enhanced tightness refrigerating
systems of the IEC 60335-2-40, this system is equipped with shut-off
valves in the outdoor unit and an alarm in the remote controller. In
case the requirements of this manual are followed, no additional
safety measures are needed.
A big range of charge and room area combinations is allowed thanks
to the countermeasures that are implemented in the unit by default.
Follow the installation requirements below to ensure that the
complete system is compliant to legislation.
Outdoor unit installation
The outdoor unit has to be installed outside. For indoor installation of
the outdoor unit, additional measures can be necessary to comply
with the applicable legislation.
A terminal for external output is available in the outdoor unit. This
SVS output can be used when additional countermeasures are
needed. The SVS output is a contact on terminal X2M that closes in
case a leak is detected, failure or disconnection of the R32 sensor
(located in the indoor unit).
For more information about the SVS output, see
outputs" [ 4 33].
the external
Indoor unit installation
For installation of the indoor unit, refer to the installation and
operation manual delivered with the indoor unit. For compatibility of
indoor units refer to the latest version of the technical data book of
this unit.
The total amount of refrigerant in the system shall be less than or
equal to the maximum allowed total refrigerant amount. The
maximum allowed total refrigerant amount depends on the area of
the rooms being served by the system and the rooms in the lowest
underground floor.
See "2.1.3 To determine the charge limitations"
your system meets the requirement for charge limitation.
An optional output PCB for the indoor unit can be added to provide
output for external device. The output PCB will trigger in case a leak
is detected, the R32 sensor fails or when the sensor is disconnected.
For exact model name see option list of the indoor unit. For more
information about this option, refer to the installation manual of the
optional output PCB.
